the king’s castle

The castle was white with stain glass windows. The entrance of the castle had angel statues and quotes from the "Holy Bible". Waiting outside of the castle were players dressed in white armor with a yellow cross on the chest. When they saw us walking up to the castle, they rose up their weapons as a defense.

Kenmer walked in front of us then said "Lower your weapons, this is General Cara and her party. The king invited them to the castle."

The guards lowered their weapons then one of them said "Alright nerd go on a head." All of the guards started to laugh. Selena was about to comfort him but Maria beat her to him. Maria gave him a little hug then led him inside, we all followed right behind them.

"Wow that was such a great insult." I said sarcasticly

"Ya." Ren agreed "tecniclly everyone in the game is a geek or a nerd."

I giggled a little bit.

The inside of the castle was as nice as the outside. The floor was a marble white with a red rug on top of it. On the walls were paintings of angels giving miraculs and demons being vanquished to the darkness. There was also arches windows with golden curtains. Kenmer leads us to the ballroom of the castle, if you watched any disney movie then you can have a general idea on what it looks like.

In the ballroom was the king ordering servants left and right what to do. The king had white angel wings with some brown feathers on the top. He wore a robe a king would wear, had a cross necklace, fancy dress pants with some embrodery on it and some black sunday shoes. His crown was siting on his curly blonde head.

"Welcome! Welcome, to the kingdom of angels." With his angel wings he flew from the balcony to the ground and stood in front of us.

"General Cara your as lovely like always."

"Thank you, you look well too, alive thankfully."

"So are these the players you sent for this quest."

"Yes, they promised not bother you and the party preperations but will help in any way they possibly can."

The king looked at us then faced General Cara.

"Which ones the witch and the shadow knight."

General Cara looked at Ren and I then said "The witch is Luna and the Shadow Knight is Ren."

He looked closer at me but mainly stared at my eyes.

"You were right Cara, she does look like him. A split image of him." He stepped back and stood next to General Cara.

"I'm Elliot, Leader of the angels. General Cara may have already told you that there are creatures or things that have tried to kill me and other leaders. After everything that has happened, I wanted to try to lift everyone's spirits and have a Christmas ball but because of these assanation attempts, we don't want anyone to be worried or killed during the event."

King Elliot looked at General Cara then said, "I leave this in your hands Cara. Now I must go and make the arranglements for bedrooms. If you need anything just ask."

"Excuse me, King Elliot." Selena asked, "I was wondering where the castle library is."

"Kenmer show the fairy where the library is."

"Y-Ye-Yes sir, right away."

The king expanded his wings then flew back to the balcony and went through a door.

"Here Miss. Leon I'll show you to the library."

"You can call me Selena you know."

Kenmer blushed then walked towards a hallway door with Selena right behind him.

"Alright everyone." General Cara said "Ren and Maria go into town and try to find any information of the boss and the where the assasans could be hiding. And the rest will question the servants and try to find any possible way someone could come into the castle without being seen. Everyone has their jobs so go, but don't break anything."

Maria grabbed Ren by his arm and walked towards the door. As they walked I could see Ren quietly saying "Help me" to the rest of us, we waved him goodbye knowing that he would die a little bit inside.

"And that was the last time we ever saw him." Ryder said in comic releef.

"He will always be in our hearts." Jace said joining in on the joke.

"And he never was able to tell Lu-" Before Ryder could finish his sentence Jace put his hand over his mouth.

"Wait, what was he never able to say to me?" I asked

"N-Nothing, I know nothing! Why do you think I know something because I know nothing. Stop looking at me like that!" Then Ryder ran out of the room. Jace waved bye then chased after Ryder.

"I seriously don't understand guys." Leia and I laughed to what Beth said.

"Hey Luna do you want to come with us to find some clues." Leia asked me.

"No thanks. I rather just look around on my own."

"Are you sure? We never see you anywhere without Ren hanging around you. Not that it's creepy but you're both really good friends and always together."

"I'll be fine, I can take care of myself, you know."

"well, I SHIP IT!" Pawblo yelled

"Shut up, Pawblo." Leia scoulded

"I don't know, I can see that ship sailing pretty well."

"Not you too, Beth."

I stepped back slowly walking towards the hallway. "Well you guys are weird, so I'm going to go now. See you later." Then ran to the hallway.

When I got out of the ballroom I looked back to see Leia, Beth, and Pawblo talked to each other then walked towards the same direction where Ryder and Jace went through.

I giggled at them, then went to explore the castle.

Walking through the halls alone was pretty peaceful. Every door was closed in the hallway, like they don't want to be opened. There was a large kitchen, an office, a courtyard that lead to the garden, dining rooms, and many unused bedrooms. As I looked

around the castle I noticed one of the doors were opened. I peeked in to see what was inside and there I saw a man with brown feathered wings wearing the same armor as General Cara and the boy that I saw once again form the village.

"It was really nice to see you again Daniel, are you sure you don't want to come back to us?"

"No thanks, you know what would happen if everyone saw me back there."

The guy in armor looked the other way and towards the ground "Ya, right I forgot, well it was nice to see you again man. I have to go now the General came back and she wants to do some drills and question us about the local gangs."

"Good Luck with that, I'm just going to hang around here a bit onger."

"Alright dude see ya."

The guy in armor opened one of the large windows then he said "Also I heard that Maria is back, if I were you I would stay low for a while."

"Thanks for the heads up."

The guy in the armor nodded then flew out of the window.

The boy from the village turned towards the door where I was standing.

"I know your there come out."

I walked into the room and stood there quietly.

He walked closer to me then said "You’re the same girl that I saw today with your fairy friend. And the same one that saw me in the alley."

"Ya that's me." I said putting my hand behind my head.

"The names Daniel and the dork that you saw is Jason.

"I'm Lucinda but you can call me Luna."

Daniel looked confused then said "Nah, I'll call you little missey, its more fiting for you."

"Wow, making a short based name for a short person very original."

"Then how about Kitty."

"Where the fuck did Kitty come from?"

"Your short and fiesty so Kitty is a good name."

"Just call me Luna."

"Alright 'Kitty'."

I rolled my eyes to his comment.

"So what are you doing here in the kings castle other than getting a chance to meet me." Daniel said flexing his arms.

"I'm here with General Cara and my friends, we're here as the guest of the king."

"Wait are you part of the Legends? Jason was just telling me about you guys. You're supposed to be the strongest of each of the races and are going to be the ones to find and fight the boss."

"um...wow that's interesting but we haven't done anything to get to that stander."

Daniel had a confused look again. "But Maria told everyone in the kingdom that you guys fight a mini boss once or twice a day."

What the fuck Maria! One minute you’re a mega bitch that has trust problems and the next you’re a lieing two-faced idiot. Make up your mind pigeon for gods sake.

"What!?! That's not true, we just hand around and try to level up our combat skills like any other player. Ya, we can get into some fights but that’s because Jace and Ryder are complete idiots and always end up in that situation."

Daniel started to laugh when I was done talking.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing, its just that Maria is the same old person after 6 months. She always tried to make it seem like she was a overall powerful person towards the people she hangs around with."

"so how do you know Maria?"

"I knew her sister Marina, heck everyone knew Marina. Marina was always in charge over all of the armies. When I used to come over to the castle more frequently, I would always see her trying to help one of the soliders with a skiland Maria trailing right behind her. Marin a was brave, clever, and kind to everyone."

"Sounds like you were very close."

"Ya everyone was close to her, some people even compared her to Mother Mary in Solaria. But we lost her in a battle a few months back, she was with Junior General Lucifer and from what I heard they were almost had the location of the final boss but the fallen angels spotted them and attacked very, very few people survived the attack and sadly she was one of the many that were killed including the Junior General."

Wait Junior General Lucifer, could that be Luke and the same attack. I know that his in game name is Lucifer but could he have met this Marina girl.

"Ya, after hearing that she totally changed. Before she was very nice, always smiling, had so much hope in her heart. Everyone thought of Marina as a caring big sister and Maria as our kid sister but after losing her sister she turned cold, more head strong, never lets her guard down, and was by herself more often."

Wow I didn’t realize what she went through all of that. She must have been very close to her sister to change so dirasticly, I know I was a bit shaken up after Luke died. I shouldn't of misjugded her.

"Well I better get going, can't stay in the castle for to long." Daniel said running towards the door.

"How come? Why can't you stay in the castle?"

He turned around then said "I have my reasons. Hey we should talk again."

"Sure just tell me the place and the time."

"How about the gardens, by the willow tree next to the pond."

"Sure see ya."

"See ya later Miss. Moon." Then he left.
